UNSPSC 85501711 Extirpation of matter from left subclavian artery, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a clinical procedural label but does not map to the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code center on occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, employee health benefit program administration (pharmacy management and surgical carve-outs), temporary clinical staffing placement, and emergency medical services for youth in detention—none of which involve vascular surgery or arterial intervention. The code shows little relevant procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope, and the mismatch between the code's clinical designation and the administrative and occupational health services being purchased suggests either a data-entry error in the underlying state and local procurement systems or a significant taxonomy-mapping problem at the source level.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee health programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (County of Santa Clara, Harris County), county human resources and benefits consortiums (Collier County), and a county juvenile detention authority (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Geographic distribution spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety personnel disability determinations (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's open-ended qualified-vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Firms pursuing work under this code should verify with the issuing body that the code alignment is intentional before investing significant bid resources, as the procedural nature of the UNSPSC designation appears disconnected from the operational and administrative health services state and local bodies are actually buying.
